THE BOOKS

The world is big when you’re a twig!

Hello Twigs is a graphic novel series for beginner readers from Andrew McDonald and Ben Wood – the creators of Real Pigeons.

Each book is 48 pages with full-colour illustrations and simple text that can be read aloud. The stories follow a group of twigs (and one stump) as they explore nature, creativity, emotions and friendship with heart, humour and slapstick too!

The first four books are out in Australia and New Zealand in August 2023 – with more on the way!
